I can’t tell you enough about how we have been blessed by reading the books below during our slavery and Civil War unit study. These books were so fantastic – in information, emotion and ability put us in the midst of the time period. I recommend each of them as living books!
(I haven’t included the books from my sidebar, which are equally as good. They will end up in another post soon.)

I know, you’re tired of hearing how wonderful our co-op is! But seriously, it is. Friday night was our annual competition night. The children choose from all sorts of competitions to enter – music, art, cooking, Bible memorization, science fair, construction, knitting/crochet/sewing, spelling bee – and maybe even more.
Here are a few pictures from the night. Mahayla entered knitting, science fair, cooking – pies, and art – painting, crafts and printing. Caleb entered wood construction, cooking – cakes, and art – printing and crafts. We’ll have a fun ceremony in a couple of weeks where the kids will find out if they placed. Pretty ribbons and certificates are given to all winners and participants. They make for a nice addition to a yearly portfolio.
